Never underestimate the
power of your engine
April 3rd, 2013
"To be a consistent winner means preparing not just one day, one month, or even one year -- but for a lifetime."
John J. Kelley:
"We runners are all a little nutty, but we're good people who just want to enjoy our healthy, primitive challenge. Others may not understand running, but we do, and we cherish it. That's our only message."
"For every finish-line tape a runner breaks -- complete with the cheers of the crowd and the clicking of hundreds of cameras -- there are the hours of hard and often lonely work that rarely gets talked about."
"You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back."
"As every runner knows, running is about more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it is about our lifestyle and who we are."
Deena Kastor:
"When you have the enthusiasm and the passion, you end up figuring how to excel."
Wilma Rudolph:
"Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit."
"I always loved running... it was something you could do by yourself, and under your own power. You could go in any direction, fast or slow as you wanted, fighting the wind if you felt like it, seeking out new sights just on the strength of your feet and the courage of your lungs."
Billy Mills:
"The ultimate is not to win, but to reach within the depths of your capabilities and to compete against yourself to the greatest extent possible. When you do that, you have dignity. You have the pride. You can walk about with character and pride no matter in what place you happen to finish."
Florence Griffith Joyner:
"When anyone tells me I can't do anything, I'm just not listening any more."
